Sheet material dispenser

A sheet material dispenser including a tail length adjustment apparatus which permits length adjustment of the sheet material tail which extends out of the dispenser for user pulling, the dispenser comprising:

• a housing;
• a cutter;
• a sheet material roll holder;
• first and second rollers forming a nip therebetween, the first roller having a rotational axis, first and second ends and a generally cylindrical body positioned in the housing such that the sheet material passes through the nip and wraps partially around the body during user sheet material pulling and user sheet material pulling rotates the first roller, the first roller being rotatable between a plurality of angular positions including a first angular position corresponding to a sheet material cutting position at which the sheet material is cut with the cutter and a second angular position corresponding to a resting position of the first roller between dispense cycles;
• and
• a tail-length adjuster associated with the first roller, the tail-length adjuster setting the second angular position of the first roller at one of a plurality of angular positions to increase or decrease the angular distance between the first and second angular positions, thereby correspondingly increasing or decreasing the tail length.
